Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is one of the most prominent estates in Burgundy, and the Musigny Vieilles Vignes is one of the most legendary wines produced in the region.
While de Vogüé also is the largest owner of Bonnes Mares this wine seems strangely overlooked, although it’s in my view is one of the very best wines produced from this vineyard.
The Bonnes Mares from Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé deserves more credit and attention … so let’s take a trip to the southern end of Bonnes Mares.
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé – historic perspective
The history of de Vogüé dates back to the mid-15th century, and comprehensive holdings of both Musigny and Bonnes Mares have been built over many decades.
The history of this expansion is not very well documented, but all historic sources confirm that de Vogüe have been the dominant owner on both Bonnes Mares and Musigny for many decades.
Musigny is more extensively described in the literature, and this research indicates that there have been adjustments of the Vogüe ownerships within the last 150 years, so not a completely static picture … and the same could well apply for Bonnes Mares, but I have found no documentation of this.
So let’s take a closer look at the current holdings of Bonnes Mares.
